[@carnagersdv]

Great vid and adventure matt, thanks for sharing!

[@2madceltic]

WOW! Outstanding job! One of the best VLOGs in Japan, Matt. It was so great riding the trip with you.Also, I was so glad to see you didn't have to lift your trike over every road entrance. JaYoe my friend!

[@ceeme03]

This Vlog put such a smile on my face after it being very stressful. Thank you! Stay safe, JaYoe!

[@roberttengler6519]

The JaYoe vlog has become my morning addiction. Nice work.

[@fridabu.b6761]

Amazing video!!!!

[@guidokollerie6927]

Five drone batteries and three camera batteries drained and it shows. Great drone footage and your uplifting mood is seriously contagious! Excellent vlog! Perfect moment to bring your Patreon page to everybody's attention. Everybody: do chip in! (Patreon link is in the description)

One of your best! 😉 Thanks Matt.

[@drewlucero3916]

Well Matt this one is a masterpiece not only the views which are AWESOME but your upbeat personality makes it whole. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure 🔴🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔴

[@playingbysplace4006]

Matt being nutty at 2:51 and 15:54 :D I love it! Oh! and a stunning nighttime drone view of the long bridge 20:22. Absolutely gorgeous! ❤️

[@justaomf]

Thanks for this amazing video! I will be riding the same course in two days! When in Aomori let me know. Have a great Golden Week!

[@tonysshadow]

Excellent "day in the life" of Jayoeman. Those drone shots offering a type of "fly on the wall" peeking at you as you travel is pretty cool.

[@NordicAdvRider]

Beautiful islands, beautiful drone shots. Awesome vlog today Matt 🤘👊

[@joefenech6839]

Major props to you for those drone shots. I live in SF Bay Area and they will cart you away for flying at the GG bridge. Nice they let you do that! I am intrigued by the Shiminami Kaito and your video is very much appreciated! Great work... you have a new subscriber. I hope to visit Japan and experience this!

[@Colorcountryrecumbentriders.]

Best vlog yet. Loved the drone footage.

[@zanazoro]

Wonderful vlog I love it

[@BrentonCollas]

Awesome video! I love your upbeat attitude. Subbed.

[@deezynar]

Matt, the squeak is caused by a slight bend in your right front disc rotor. When you lean over to the right you put weight on that side and the axle flexes just enough for the bent rotor to touch a brake pad. Lift the front right wheel off the ground and turn it while looking at the rotor as it goes through the caliper. You should see a very slight wobble to the rotor. Figure out exactly where the bend is the greatest then push it the opposite way with your hand. Push it very gently, then test to see if you got it. Keep pushing slightly harder each time until you have removed the bend. Discs bend easier than you might think, so you need to start out gently until you get a feel for how hard to shove on it.

[@veo_]

What a great vlog! So much great content in one episode, I don't even mind being behind a whole week it was worth the wait. I have to admit I was feeling pretty nervous when the drone shot outside the bridge popped up and knew what could go wrong. I'm glad it didn't as that shot was rad. JaYoe!

[@SabreCAYC]

Great drone shots. Good job Matt!

[@kenyup5424]

Great drone shots Matt,it's awsome.

[@waynesbutler7834]

All your hard work is paying off big time . Luck shines upon you , there was so many times you could have lost the drone and you didn't . Shows how great this drone is and yes best vlog from this region yet .. Jayoe .

[@CaptnJackHammer]

Great vlog Matt, the japanese tourist bureau should be paying you for these vlogs. The drone footage is superb.

[@jeff61177]

Awesome bridge shot Matt! no balls no blue chips!

[@ShimaguaVids]

Great video! Plan to do the trip at the end of May with a couple detours to coastal roads to make it a 2 day trip

[@zyberx.official]

Trike is awesome!!

[@jm6022]

Awesome drone shots ! JaYoe !

[@ON8EI]

Has to have been my most favourite video so far, Travel Channel here you come :-)

[@swilliams2575]

@ 2:51 is why I love trikes, @ 3:17 is why I love you. Keep on keeping it real.

[@JaYoeNation]

Awwwe shucks.

[@NariKims]

Suuch a pretty video!! Hoping I can make the same trip one day!

[@HawaiiJapan808]

outstanding footage! I did this route in April this year. one of the best things to do in Japan.

[@suzannejager2071]

Great vlog, loved all the island hopping but whenever you posted a note, it was there and gone so fast we couldn't read it!! Just saying. Just love being a part of your adventure!!! JaYoe!!

[@gregweehk]

Good vlog! Maybe a longish B-roll of the day, especially drone footage would be a nice addition...

[@yokowagner6915]

Innoshima Island, Omishima, then Oshima to Imabari city of Shikoku. Yea Citrus 🍊 is very good there. 🙂

[@ratache]

Really impressive dual tasking :{)

[@TkyoSam]

Lookin good man! Keep up that grind! These vids just keep getting better and better

[@JaYoeNation]

Thanks boss. I really am proud with how this one came out. Freaking flew so much.

[@kenyup5424]

TkyoSam Take a look at this please, kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LKd2icltSMms0 ,what he said is true?thank you

[@patrickthompson603]

I concur tyko...

[@vincerunnerretrobikevince4212]

I enjoy your videos. Will be doing the Shim-Kaido in a couple of weeks. Hope the weather cooperates. The only thing that I’m not clear about at this time is the bus or ferry back to Onomichi at the end of the ride but I guess I can ask when I rent a bike.

[@yokowagner6915]

It is pronounced Mukoujima. Some word? Ships! What a beautiful color.

[@andrewfyip]

The dolls are part of a public art done by a local villager. Basically, her village is dying. Most of everybody moved into the city and the older folks are dying one by one. She's one of the few residents left so the dolls are suppose to represent the people that are no longer there.

[@yokowagner6915]

That seems pretty fast Island hopping.

[@magnetospin]

You totally forgot to say "Look ma, no hands!" when you were doing the holding coffee and camera skit.

[@dgoodger]

Those life-size rag dolls have sashes that say "Traffic Safety" (交通安全 - koh-tsuu anzen). They're probably made by locals and used for driver's safety campaigns: propped up on roads at intersections, to get drivers to slow down and drive more safely. You found them between campaigns, chillin'.

[@Oricio99]

My sister and I have the same thing with jumping out of high places. I think most people have those thoughts. Btw, I am doing Shimanami Kaido next weekend. And from 27th I am doing a circle cycling around Shikoku which will take me around 2 weeks. Hopefully in few years I will be able to do traveling full time

[@JaYoeNation]

You’re gonna love it!!!!!!

do you need to be pro biker to do this? I want to do it, im a skateboarder, i have condition to do it, i just never bike. There is also a tradition of walking around shikoku in a circuit of temples, but that takes like more than a month. Biking sounds a lot better.

[@jstravelers4094]

Faraday cage reference. Mat knows something about electronics.

[@marynelson1349]

Nice

[@lauriecarter660]

"JaYoe to that" I just knew you was going to say that. Made me laugh

[@andrewpannelli8016]

Great video today Matt. I'm guessing when you say it's Saturday, you mean last Saturday? 😂😂

[@abdulhameedsa4390]

good luck mister 👀🤔🚴🎎🥇👍

[@brisbanerugby]

It really was a cycling sanctuary (or paradise is probably a better translation). Reminded me of some of those paths in Korea (South of course).

[@JurgenBoes]

love those Japanese signs

[@Iamkayaky]

The video is very good. The drone video with the light coming through the clouds was spectacular. What was your hurry... you said yourself you could have taken a month? As it was you were cycling in the dark to reach the hostel on Osaki shimozima? Seems like a wasted opportunity to me considering how much time you spent up on the east coast of Hokaido where the coastline when on forever?

[@KellieLStimson]

Is two days ‘easy going’? Looking at doing this with my teenage girls this December.

[@mxmbulat]

A very interesting vloq today, thanks. Do you keep stats in terms of how much do you spend on average per day in different countries? I would be interested in seeing or hearing about this data.

[@kizuna101]

Where did you rent your bike from? I've got.a bad back and need the recumbent.

[@cmisterking90]

Hey Matt is been so long since u did a 4K drone video. Can we expect one in the near future?

[@brisbanerugby]

Those toys were plastered with signs saying be careful of the traffic 交通安全。Pretty pertinent I would have thought.

[@stingrayshark9373]

Sweet setup you have . Japan will be the best country you will cycled through. Don't go to Africa, you will mugged, attacked or even killed, Be safe.

[@TravelingTice]

Howly moly how long did this one take to edit Matt? Probably couple hours...

[@driewiel]

Yes these are called The Suicide Islands. People jump off the bridge and yell ITO GOFUKU!

[@JaYoeNation]

Damn that Ito!

[@xwatson3431]

cool

[@ibachtiar]

is it ok to fly drone in this area?

[@andy-kai-chan]

I'm sure its occured to you already. The tricycle you ride seems to be a novelty in Japan. Have you thought about a business opportunity in manufacturing or importing those? Its both easier for cargo, lower risk of losing balance.

[@jacobblaeser4930]

This is wonderful!! U should also ✔️ out the site AirVuz when sharing your drone content. I upload my work there and the views have been great!

[@camperstar6stringer]

You still in Japan

[@greensacruzn9645]

👍

[@rezmutt5776]

Lmao I thought this guy was in a wheelchair 😂 like real quick

[@JaYoeNation]

haha... sort of like a wheel chair...

[@jenipearlsv3659]

ito go.... lol

[@darkenergy9893]

@3:18 haha .......

[@johnchang8652]

I must have went down the wrong path in life. I want to be u

[@johnchang8652]

Everyday is a weekend for u. So nice

[@pamelajohnson5859]

Liked the video until the how-to-do-suicide commercial at 16:06. As an influencer, please be careful what ideas you put in people's heads.

[@wingedbull1257]

First hahahaha
